As part of its Chapter 11 restructuring process, Chrysler has cut its franchise agreements with 789 of its dealerships on June 9th. This doesn't necessarily mean that these dealerships will close for good. Losing a franchise agreement means that a dealer can no longer sell that automaker's vehicles as new, with a factory backed warranty. These dealerships still have the option of selling another brand, remaining in business as independent car lots or auto repair facilities. Any remaining new inventory on the affected car lots will be redistributed — much of it sold at auction.

Edmunds.com has put together a list (below) of the 789 Chrysler dealerships whose franchise agreements have ended. If you need to find a new Chrysler dealership for warranty work or to buy a new car, please refer to Edmunds Local.

Now that the Chrysler dealership network has diminished, new vehicle prices are expected to stabilize.
